Business Communication for Success (CC BY-NC-SA)

Business Communication for Success provides a comprehensive, integrated approach to the study and application of written and oral business communication. The text includes learning objectives, exercises, real-world examples, key terms, and post-chapter assessments. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing for mix-and-match flexibility and custom or course-specific design. The first three chapters form the core foundation for the study of oral and written business communication. The next sequence of chapters focuses on the process of writing, then oral performance with an emphasis on results. The final sequence of chapters focuses on contexts where business communication occurs, from interpersonal to intercultural and from groups to leadership.

It also contains interactive H5P activities for students to test their learning, and activities for further reflection that instructors can use in the classroom or assign as homework.
